Man just wants stout, superstitious grandchildren who will present a strong back for working in the fields.  Is that so wrong?

Nothing is faster than Transylvanian horses children!

I imagine that I'm the only one hoping that this thread was about the Van Helsing spin-off series.

Here's a traditional Romanian love ballad that I learned.

I don't know how to spell these words so I am writing them phonetically.

*ahem*

Appa plata!
Moltza mesk, moltza mesk!
Appa plata!
Moltza mesk, moltza mesk!
Forto beenah, forto beenah!
Appa plata, moltza mesk, moltza mesk!

You do not appear to be drunk at the moment Kazz. Why is this? Why have you failed me? Why are you not drinking the most potent and flavorful beer you can find!?

Also, watch out for Gypsies. If you think the normal pickpockets are bad, boy howdy will the gypsies get you. I hear though, that if you're not a chump (i.e., hold on to your wallet) they're quite nice.

Oh, BTW LD?

I'm a little disappointed that there's no :maiwaifu: but I guess I'll just have to suffer.

What I'm saying is that I will be spending a lot of time in bars.

But yeah.  It's nuts.  Like, you know WoW where you'll suddenly be in the tall trees and then you're suddenly in the flats and then you're suddenly in high mountains with hills rolling all around you, like, that's how it is here.  Lots of cows and sheeps.

Are you sure you aren't in Ireland?

No, because he didn't mention a river.

Maybe he couldn't see the river.

There are hills.

I do have a gypsy story.

We went shopping this afternoon in a big indoor farmer's market.  It was sort of like a supermarket, but only for produce, and everybody sold their own stuff instead of there being a checkout.  After getting over our apprehension (my brother and I still have only a rudimentary grasp of how the numbers are spoken, which made paying for vegetables an adventure) we managed to pick up a bunch of apples, cabbage, carrots, strawberries, garlic, etc.  All for tremendous prices; a kilo (about half a pound) of fresh, homegrown, organic apples was 1.50 Lei, or 50 American cents.

Anyway, my brother and I are sitting outside another market where my sister and my brother's girlfriend have gone in to get something else.  I'm in the middle of eating an apple when a little boy (in nice, clean clothing) walks up to us and holds out his hand.  He's speaking in Romanian, I suppose, but we don't understand him.  We tell him several times that we don't understand, but he doesn't leave us alone.  He starts giving my brother angry looks, then he'd laugh and he probably called us several names, and then he'd put out his hand and make demands again.  (Meanwhile, my brother and I are making jokes right back at him; I even sang him the song I wrote above.  He wasn't entertained.)

On three occasions, adults came by and scolded him.  We don't know if they knew him, but we supposed he was a common fixture on this particular corner.  One of the adults was a gypsy woman with two other women.  You can tell because they wear garish bright colored dressed and head scarves.

Anyway, he didn't give up.  He started making motions like he was going to steal the groceries in my brother's hands.  He'd lunge out and snatch like he was grabbing for them, and my brother held up his finger like, "You don't want to do that."

Soon thereafter, my sister and my brother's girlfriend came out of the market.  The boy made similar demands of them, and they apologized and we began to walk away.  The boy followed us for about half a block, when finally he got tired of being ignored and punched my sister on the arm before running away.

I told this story to a nice young man I met later in the day, and he told me the boy was almost certainly a gypsy.  I can't say, but it wouldn't shock me.  They carry a lot of stereotypes about being thieves, beggars, and criminals, and what I hear is that while they're not always applicable, the rumors are not unfounded.

Anyway, we later saw the boy walking complacently behind some older women.  It is possible that he was just some punk kid trying to trick Americans while his mom was shopping.

No, I think it's impossible that he was anything other than a gypsy. Also, you probably have a low-level gypsy curse on you now, so take the necessary steps to remove it before you get back to the west.

Man...

Eveytime I see this thread it drives me nuts that it says 'ha ha ha' instead of 'ah! ah! ah!'
